Nederland Middle-Senior HS Community,

Today was a special day here at Nederland Middle-Senior High, it was Local Legends and Landmarks day. This is a program where our 8th grade students present their Local Legends projects to the public. The students pick historical aspects of Nederland including the history of the town, the mines, the music, the recreational activities and people that make Nederland unique. Students, led by their 8th grade teachers: Judie Sievers, Jesse Mernin, Dan Wade and Nicole Chewens, created posters, curated presentations, blogs, and podcasts.

Listen to the podcasts here!
